Primary Goal
Our state’s primary goal in monitoring is not
compliance, but rather effectiveness.
Compliance is necessary, but not sufficient.
Monitoring as Leverage for Technical Assistance
Monitoring ProcessesInstructional Core Focus VisitA modification of The Idaho Building

Review of local data – achievement & perceptual
Instructional Core Focus VisitBaseline – a comprehensive visitFollow-up – a return, scaled down
visit each year
IBC – Capacity BuildersA modification –
◦The normal project is completely separated from compliance procedures. Records are maintained by an intermediary agency.
◦For SIG, monthly service records become part of public record held at SEA for review of the improvement process at each site.
Onsite Visits / InterviewsQuarterly visits from SEA staff to
interview local LEA and school leadership
Interviews based on SIG required activities

requirementWe leverage monitoring
requirements to further build local capacity for change
We depend on established relationships as a motivator for change… but we make sure that our LEAs know continued funding is dependent on compliance and progress.
